Operation Sangaris
France to withdraw from CAR
1 Aprile 2016 Defence di
The news was announced by the French Defence Minister Jean – Yves Le Drian during his visit in Bangui. Operation Sangaris, launched by France in December 2013 in response to the UN resolution 2127 (5 December 2013), will end in 2016. "We can finally see the country emerging by a long period of trouble and uncertainty", the minister said. In two years, the mission was able to restore stability in the country, thus fulfilling its objectives. Perhaps this is the reason behind French decision to withdraw its contingents.
Disorder in CAR began in March 2013, when a Muslim rebel movement, known as Seleka, overthrew the government of the Christian president Francois Bozize, replacing him with their leader Michel Djotodia. The Djotodia government remained in office for 10 months: at that period, the ethnic violence between the Muslim minority and the Christian majority spread out in the country, thus causing the death of thousands of people.
The international community reacted unanimously and approved the above resolution. This resolution not only condemned the spiral of ethnic and religious violence fueled by rebel groups, but also authorized the deployment of MISCA mission (Mission internationale de soutien à la Centrafrique sous conduite africaine). This mission authorized French forces to take all necessary measures -in respect of the mandate- to achieve the three main objectives of the mission: disarmament of armed groups, restoration of civil authority and support in the preparation of the elections.
Begun with 1,600 soldiers, Operation Sangaris had around 2,500 men deployed at its peak. The Djotodia government proved to be unable to keep rebels -who had brought him to power- under control, thus dragging the country into a civil war. The situation improved after the resignation of the President and the appointment of a transitional government led by Catherine Samba-Panza, the first woman president of the country. Improvements in CAR security contest induced the French government to reduce the forces gradually, while continuing supporting the international mission.
Today, France has 900 units deployed in the Central African Republic. Minister Le Drian stressed that 300 soldiers will remain there even after the end of Operation. These troops will support the UN mission MINUSCA (Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic) and will participate in the training mission led by the European Union (EUTM RCA). Some units will provide security at the airport; others will be based in Ivory Coast and in the Sahel region ready to intervene if necessary.
As Le Drian refers, in fact, the security environment in the country has significantly improved, but there are still problems to be solved. The disarmament of rebel movements and the creation of a legitimate and efficient army are the major challenges that the newly elected President Faustine Archange Touadera will face. This explains the permanence of international missions and French forces. As it is known, indeed, France cares about the relations with the territories once belonging to its colonial empire and has repeatedly helped in internal crisis by sending its armed forces.
The withdrawal from Bangui is not a surprise. From the beginning, French mission was supposed to be a temporary mission and over the years, France has tried to decrease- when conditions made it possible- its military presence on the ground. However, ensuring the continued presence of some units in the future once again emphasizes French commitment abroad -a clear sign that, despite the international situation and the threats to the country, France defends its values of free nation and his influential position in the former colonial empire.

I read the whole series. All of the interesting content is mostly in the first half of the book and the second half is not much of anything. Phil and Taylor's story is never finished or even hinted at, as far as what they were there for. All in all, good series. This particular book could use a little work though.


Ellie Burton is feeling shipshape after winning at the National Make-up Awards with her interpretation of iconic engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as a sea creature, inspired by three ground-breaking ships he designed in the early 19th century.
The third year BA (Hons) Specialist Hair and Media Make-up student scooped Best Fantasy Make-up at the awards, which took place at the Beauty UK show at the NEC.
The 21-year-old's recreation of the man behind some of the world's greatest innovations, including the Great Western Railway and ships such as the SS Great Britain that revolutionised naval engineering, was also her final year project at UCB. Ellie created the look using silicon tentacles which were inspired by the 'Davy Jones' character from Pirates of the Caribbean, finished off with shells and seaweed she resourcefully gathered while on holiday in Cornwall!
"The idea behind the project was to pick inspirational people who have helped change the world we live in today and, with prosthetics make-up, transform them into the 'animal instinct' that I believe suited their character and what they stood for.
The National Make-up Awards, supported by the National Association of Screen Make-up Artists and Hairdressers (NASMAH), is an opportunity for professionals and students to demonstrate their creativity to an industry-leading judging panel.
Entrants are encouraged to think outside the box and produce truly unique and interesting creations.
"I had a lot of fun doing the competition and creating the character", Ellie said.

Ingrid is the most professional, thorough nail technician I've ever known. She is also an incredibly lovely person. I look forward to my visits to Ingrid's girly salon, appointments that I book quite far in advance to avoid disappointment. I have not sampled her other treatments but I'm quite sure she would execute with the same level of skill and care, as she does her nail treatments. Can't recommend Ingrid highly enough.
A beauty appointment with Ingrid is a real pleasure and a worthwhile investment in my appearance. I have been a client of Ingrid's for five years and am a real fan of her facials, which have really improved the appearance of my skin. Ingrid is friendly and professional and I look forward to my appointments.
For me visiting Ingrid's beauty salon and having a treatment is pure heaven. The ambiance of the salon, together with Ingrid's manner and professional skills fulfil every expectation. During a treatment I feel as if I have died and gone to heaven!
Ingrid's salon is like an oasis in the middle of hectic London. I felt really relieved to finally find someone who understood my skin, as I had been fighting with my acne for over two years, with no success. Ingrid's facial technique is precise and she is available after the treatment for any extra advice I need – great girl!
I highly recommend Ingrid; she is brilliant at what she does. I have my nails done and they always last a really long time and have had all the treatments and she is just excellent. She is extremely friendly and very professional and has a lot of experience. If I ever have any questions about skin problems she always gives me great advice. The salon is lovely, you can relax and just enjoy being pampered.
Cleanest salon I have ever visited with the most relaxing atmosphere. Ingrid is knowledgeable and carries out treatments to the highest standard using only top products. Wouldn't go to anybody else for treatments – her service and skills are second to none. Cannot recommend her and her salon highly enough!

Now We Are Being Warned That Shortages Of Diesel Fuel & Electricity Are Coming In The Months Ahead
Michael Snyder 2022-05-10
Michael Snyder / May 10, 2022
On top of everything else that is going wrong, shall we add a diesel fuel shortage and a nationwide electricity shortage to the equation? I never imagined that I would be writing about such things in the middle of 2022, but here we are. I will discuss the potential electricity shortage in a moment, but first I want people to understand how serious a widespread diesel shortage would be. Without diesel, our trains and trucks don't run, and if they don't run America's supply chains completely and utterly collapse. So even a moderate shortage would be absolutely paralyzing for the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, supplies are rapidly dwindling and we are being warned that a "global diesel shortage that will shock people" could begin as soon as next month…
We are looking at a nightmare in terms of global diesel shortage that will shock people starting June.
Diesel inventory on the east coast is 18 million (About 3 days demand) as of today, we will run down to sub 10 million.
Let us hope that a way can be found to keep all of our trains and all of our trucks running.
But even if an unprecedented supply crunch can be averted, everyone agrees that the price of diesel is going to be going way up…
Diesel prices are surging, contributing to inflationary headwinds due to the fuel's vital role in the American and global economy. Tankers, trains and trucks all run on diesel. The fuel is also used across industries including farming, manufacturing, metals and mining.
"Diesel is the fuel that powers the economy," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Higher prices are "certainly going to translate into more expensive goods," he said, since these higher fuel costs will be passed along to consumers. "Especially at the grocery store, the hardware store, anywhere you shop."
Meanwhile, we are also being warned of "potential electricity shortages" in the United States in the months ahead…
The Midcontinent Independent System Operator, or MISO, operating in 15 states across the US Central region, said last month that capacity shortages this summer due to soaring summer demand might result in outages. Last Friday, California Independent System Operator, or California ISO, outlined energy shortfalls this summer because of heat and wildfires. Texas over the weekend saw triple-digit temperatures in some portions of the state, though grid stability was maintained despite several power plants being offline for maintenance.
WSJ explains grid instability and increased risk of power shortages this summer comes as fossil fuel power plants are "being retired more quickly than they can be replaced by renewable energy and battery storage." Power grids are racing to retire conventional power plants fueled by natural gas, coal, and diesel to green forms of energy, such as solar power and wind. There's also the retirement of aging nuclear power plants.
Why are we "racing" to retire conventional power facilities in the midst of a growing global energy crisis?
That doesn't make any sense at all.
It seems that we have a long, hot summer ahead of us, and major blackouts could apparently happen at any moment.
And of course this all comes at a time when tensions are rising all over the country and anger is starting to boil over because of the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade.
I warned that we would see violence, and it has already started to erupt. On Tuesday, a Catholic facility in Colorado was "vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti"…
The Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Boulder, Colorado was vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti again Tuesday, the second time in less than a year.
Abortion activists targeted the church after news broke of a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that overturns Roe v. Wade. Pro-life pregnancy centers and pro-life advocates also have been the targets of vandalism, violence and harassment this week.
Spraying graffiti everywhere is certainly not nice, but it won't kill or injure anyone.
However, firebombing the headquarters of a pro-life group could definitely injure or kill people, and that just happened in Madison, Wisconsin…
Radical abortion activists have firebombed a pro-life group's office in Madison, Wisconsin. A leftist radical threw Molotov cocktails into Wisconsin Family Action's office in the capital city and a picture of the destruction shows the office heavily damaged from the bomb.
Apparently at least one Molotov cocktail was used in the attack, and whoever did this left a very chilling message…
Arriving at the office at 2801 International Lane at the same time as a reporter, Appling and group event coordinator Diane Westphall found shattered glass from a broken window covering a corner office riddled with burned books. The smell of smoke persisted for hours after the fire, which damaged the corner office carpet and the wall beneath the window.
The outside of the building also was sprayed with graffiti depicting an anarchy symbol, a coded anti-police slogan and the phrase, "If abortions aren't safe then you aren't either."
Then on Sunday, another firebombing was reported at the offices of Oregon Right to Life…
This second attack has occurred in Salem, Oregon as radical leftists targeted Oregon Right to Life, a longtime pro-life organization.
In the late evening on Sunday, May 8, the offices of Oregon Right to Life were attacked. An individual used incendiary devices, one of which exploded and caught the building on fire. The office was vacant at the time, and no one was harmed. Fire and police departments responded quickly, minimizing damage to the building. The agencies are actively investigating the incident.
So why didn't the big corporate news networks devote endless coverage to these attacks?
I think that we all know why.
Of course if pro-abortion facilities had been attacked, it would have been top news for days.
Before I end this article, there is one more very disturbing incident that I wanted to mention…
A Texas-based pro-life activist organization received a new bomb threat against one of its offices, allegedly due to its support for the state's controversial heartbeat abortion ban restricting abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
Texas Right to Life released a statement Monday explaining that its legislative office in Austin had received a bomb threat that morning.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
If Roe v. Wade is actually formally overturned, the violence will get a lot worse.
The stage is being set for the sort of "internal revolution" that radical leftists have been talking about for years.
As I have been warning about for a very long time, great civil unrest is coming to this nation.
So let us pray for peace, but let us also be aware that there are lots of very angry and very violent people out there right now.

This stunning wall sculpture is a triptych that expresses the artist's vision of the serenity and beauty of waves. In shades of white and gray, the "boat" forms on each of the three panels are created from finely crushed glass using the pate de verre technique. The stainless steel backgrounds are heat treated for silver and gold color. The surface is then hand carved with wave patterns using air tooling. Stainless steel mesh is used on the smaller panels. Includes French cleats for hanging. Each piece is unique and will vary.


Some cars these days don't need a key to start; all you need is a push of a button. Be warned, however, because this could threaten your life.
Keyless cars have been causing carbon monoxide poisoning, states The New York Times. This is due to the fact that people are so accustomed to using keys that they forget to turn their car off when their keys are with them, allowing excess amounts of carbon monoxide to be released. The car is keyless to start, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a key. The key is a fob key, or a keychain, that sends a signal when close to the car that allows you to turn it on with the button.
When a car is not turned off properly, carbon monoxide continues to be released. This has caused multiple deaths since 2006. MoneyCNN says that since 2006, there have been 41 deaths and at least 45 injuries caused by the carbon monoxide. 70-year-old victim Jeanette Colter and her husband died because she left her keyless ignition car on in the garage and the fumes got into the house. This is one of the many times this has happened to people who leave their keyless ignition cars on.
The New York Times says that some people thought that when they took the key with them, then the car would shut off. Car automotive engineers have been working to fix the problem by adding warnings, such as continuous beeps to alert the driver if they left their car on. Another solution is having an automatic shut off for the car. Keyless cars make up half of the 17 million cars bought in the United States annually.
These toxic fumes have killed many and injured more, when this problem could be prevented if people shut their cars off properly. Some car companies use the fob key to turn the car off. For example, if the key is too far away from the car, the car automatically turns off. However, people still need to remember how crucial it is to press the off button in their car, and not to have to turn the key instead.

Hello Dear Friend – Just Sponge It!
Today I have a pretty simple card, it does have a little bit of "fussy" cutting, but well worth the effort. It features the Life is Grand stamp set found on page 17 of the Occasions Catalog, and the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper, found on page 11.
My friend Patty and I started off by casing one of the cards in the catalog on page 10. After we were done, I think the only thing we copied was fussy cutting the leaves, but sometimes you just need a "jumping" off point to get started.
Our card base is Sahara Sand (I hardly ever use this color), then a piece of the wood grain paper found in the Floral Romance DSP. We die cut the largest oval found in the Stitched Shapes in Whisper White and stamped the hello, Dear Friend in Fresh Fig. This stamp set (Life is Grand) is awesome. I love the fonts and how you really don't need a whole lot of other stuff. Before you attach to your card, you will want to lay it where you want it and add a few of the stamped Mossy Meadow springs. That "sprig" is found in the All That You Are stamp set on page 2. I'm not sure what else to call it. Once you have those stamped, you can attach your oval with Dimensionals.
We fussy cut 3 sets of leaves, some with the little flowers and others just the leaves. I adhered a couple of leaves with snail and let some hang over the oval. I added a double Old Olive Linen Thread bow with a Glue Dot. This is a new product that can be found on page 39.
To finish off the card, we added a few of the Frosted Flower Embellishments and Metallic Pearls. The Pearls are the perfect size to go on the Frosted Flowers.
My Stamp Club is going to make this card tonight.
Since I've made two of these cards for class and I think I will be sending them to my two bestest (yes that is a word, at least in my world…..lol) friends. I've know them over 30 years. We don't get together very often. I saw them both on Sunday for brunch. It was a great time catching up.

Attempts to prevent 12 staff from being made redundant to save just £41,000 were scuppered this week after the Conservatives voted to get rid of the Schools Library Service.
During the debate on the cabinet decision at a scrutiny meeting on Wednesday 25th January, the Liberal Democrat group highlighted that the closure of the service had been agreed without any reference to the County's own Education and Skills Cabinet Panel, despite the service being used exclusively by Hertfordshire's schools.
'The Conservative-run County Council maintain that they can't continue a loss-making service, yet they don't seem to have made any effort to promote it. Instead, to save a comparatively tiny sum of money, they've decided to make a dozen people redundant and dispose of a service that a number of schools had found valuable.
The vote was narrowly lost 4 to 6, with Labour failing to show up and a number of Conservatives showing indifference and abstaining.

Q: Update HTML content after click I have an HTML div that contains 3 rooms. What I need is to change the name of any room when I want. "EDIT ROOM NAME" button makes 'contenteditable="false"'. After I type the desired name, I press the "VALIDATE NAME" button but as you can see, the alert message displays the previous name, not the new one. Only when I click on the room name again the "nameTag" variable refreshes and takes the new value. My question is how do I get the value after I finished typing the desired name?
Below is the demo:

$("#editButton").click(function (){
      var idTag;
      var nameTag;
      alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
      $(".roomClass").click(function (){
          $(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
          idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
          nameTag = $(this).text();
      })
      $("#confirmButton").click(function () {
          PostData(idTag, nameTag);
      })
  })

function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
        alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed!');
}

ROOM LIST:

<button id="editButton">EDIT ROOM NAME</button>

        ROOM1

        ROOM2

        ROOM3

        <button id="confirmButton">VALIDATE NAME</button>

A: you can get value simply by using .text() jquery function
like :
var room8Value = $("[data-room-id=8]").text();

you can check this jsfiddle example

$("#editButton").click(function (){
    var idTag;
    var nameTag;
    alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
    $(".roomClass").click(function (){
        $(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
        idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
        nameTag = $(this).text();
    })
    $("#confirmButton").click(function () {
        PostData(idTag, nameTag);
    })
});

function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
        alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed! to :' + $("[data-room-id="+idTag+"]").text());
}

ROOM LIST:

<button id="editButton">EDIT ROOM NAME</button>

        ROOM1

        ROOM2

        ROOM3

        <button id="confirmButton">VALIDATE NAME</button>

A: Use  var idTag; and var nameTag; as public variable, you had applied this variable inside $("#editButton").click() apply them outside
Please check below:

var idTag;
var nameTag;

$("#editButton").click(function (){
    alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
 $(".roomClass").click(function (){
     $(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
  idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
  nameTag = $(this).text();
    })

    $("#confirmButton").click(function () {
     PostData(idTag, nameTag);
 })
})

function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
    alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed!');
}

ROOM LIST:

        <button id="editButton">EDIT ROOM NAME</button>

        ROOM1

        ROOM2

        ROOM3

        <button id="confirmButton">VALIDATE NAME</button>

A: Try the below js code..

 $("#editButton").click(function (){
      var idTag;
      var nameTag;
      var roomId;
      alert("DoubleClick the room you want to rename")
      $(".roomClass").click(function (){
          $(this).attr('contenteditable', 'true');
          idTag = $(this).attr("data-room-id");
          roomId = $(this).attr("id");
      });
      $("#confirmButton").click(function () {
       nameTag = $('#'+roomId).text();
          PostData(idTag, nameTag);
      });
  })

function PostData(idTag, nameTag) {
        alert(nameTag + ' with id: ' + idTag + ' was renamed!');

Clinical India, maverick Pak vie for Champions Trophy
The Hans India
India are favourites to retain the Champions Trophy on Sunday but they would probably have preferred to face different opponents than arch-rivals Pakistan in what is sure to be a highly-charged final.
LONDON TURNS WAR-ZONE TODAY
London: India are favourites to retain the Champions Trophy on Sunday but they would probably have preferred to face different opponents than arch-rivals Pakistan in what is sure to be a highly-charged final.
The neighbouring countries have moved on from years of political conflicts but emotions will run high as millions of supporters around the world watch the first major cricket final between the teams since the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup.
One of the most unpredictable sides in world sport, Pakistan were the lowest-ranked side going into the tournament and produced a shambolic performance in their heavy opening defeat by India. As they have done many times before, however, Pakistan suddenly found their form with wins over top-ranked South Africa and Sri Lanka before delivering an outstanding all-round display to stun previously
unbeaten hosts England in the semi-finals.
India suffered a shock loss to Sri Lanka in the group stage before overwhelming Bangladesh in the semis and their captain Virat Kohli has been impressed by Pakistan's resurgence."The turnaround has been magnificent," Kohli said.
"Obviously, if you reach the finals you have to play some good cricket and credit to them, they've turned around things for themselves really well.
"The belief just showed on the field the way they played together as a team and regardless of who you play in the finals, it's always going to be challenging because once you start thinking that it's a big game, then your mindset changes."
India, who beat Pakistan by five runs in the Twenty20 final 10 years ago, have been lifted by the outstanding batting form of Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma.
"What we are going to try to do is repeat the similar sort of cricket that we have played so far, knowing the strengths and weaknesses they have," Kohli said.
"I don't think we need to look too far away from what we are doing as a group, focus on our skills and our abilities and believe in ourselves on that particular day."
Pakistan, without their leading fast bowler Mohammad Amir due to injury, strangled the usually free-scoring England batsmen on a slow wicket in Cardiff with a disciplined display of bowling and fielding.
The Oval pitch should be more favourable for batsmen but India, who have beaten Pakistan in eight of their 10 World Cup and Champions Trophy meetings, will not be complacent.
"We've seen some really surprising results and it's been amazing for the fans to watch and for the players to be a part of," Kohli said. "We played some really good cricket but we're not going to take anything for granted for sure."
Pakistan's rejuvenation has been built around the runs of opener Fakhar Zaman and the experienced Azhar Ali while Hasan Ali and Junaid Khan stepped up to compensate for the absence of Amir who is expected to be fit for the final.
Their captain Sarfraz Ahmed said they had quickly forgotten the opening loss to India and simply focused on the next game in their bid to win the Champions Trophy for the first time.
"After the India match, we just motivated the guys," he said."Don't worry about the India match. This is gone. If we play good cricket, definitely we will win this tournament."

LIVE Australian Open: Mannarino v Thiem (5)LIVE Australian Open: Vekic (19) v Sharapova
Gould denies taking on coaching duties
Penrith supremo Phil Gould has denied he will be the club's de facto coach for the rest of the NRL season following Anthony Griffin's sacking, but promised to oversee the handover.
Cameron Ciraldo will take over as caretaker coach for the remaining four rounds and finals following the club's decision to cut Griffin loose.
The club has been dogged by suggestions that Gould had a hands-on coaching role this year and was essentially pulling the strings.
Former premiership and State of Origin-winning coach Gould said he had no desire to get back behind the clipboard.
"Cameron will be in charge as the caretaker coach but we're throwing the weight of the academy behind it," Gould said.
"Everyone involved here coaching right through the grades, Cameron will have at his disposal, the players will have at his disposal. They're all looking forward to it.
"I'll oversee the whole thing just to make sure that they're comfortable."
Gould was also forced to deny he was part of the problem after the club parted ways with their second coach in three years, after Ivan Cleary was sacked in 2015.
Gould said it was up to the board to decide his future and claimed he had not interfered in Griffin's job during the season.
"I helped out a little in the off-season. If you remember last year we lost Garth Brennan. We had a period where all our World Cup players were away so we had a lot of young blokes training fulltime in the squad," Gould said.
"We took a chance to have a different sort of an off-season and I helped out with a little bit of skills work.
"But as far as I was a hands-on coach of the NRL side, that's not correct."

CAMPAIGN UPDATE Feb 2013
Things are beginning to hot up on this 2013 Consultation. Here is what we have sent GBC planners today (5th Feb 2013):
Local Development Scheme 2013 & Saved 2003 Local Plan Policy H3
Dear Ms. S****l
WBDRA has been following the LDS roll-out with a view to monitoring what policies will be carried forward from 2003 and to monitor dates of related Public Consultations.
We understand that the 2003 Policy H3 has been included in the 2013 LDS and write to express our opposition to this as well as our concern that the public's wishes regarding the Aldershot Road Allotment site (referred to as Woodside Road in H3) seem to have been comprehensively ignored.
WBDRA has already generated over 500 signatures on a 10 Downing St Petition calling for GBC to remove the threat of Housing on site - the results of which were duly delivered to GBC. In 2008, the Site Allocations Consultation yielded some 260 responses in favour of Opens Space and Allotment use - one of the highest polling results in the whole exercise - not one vote recorded in favour of the Housing Option.
GBC is fond of inviting its residents & council tax payers to "Have Your Say" - have we not had our say enough? And why in these times of keeping a tight grip on public spending, why do we have to have yet another expensive Site Allocations Consultation about a policy which has already been resoundingly rejected by the people of Guildford?
The need for Allotments has not diminished since 2008 and the Aldershot Road site has a continual official waiting list for plots as well as an unofficial list of many local people who would like a plot if offered but have given up being on the GAS waiting list - they can't understand why when there are 39 plots lying fallow, why there is a waiting list at all.
Everyone would agree that there is a need for affordable housing in the Borough but no-one is in favour of housing being built on public amenity land on which there has been Allotments for many decades.
Moreover if the Councillors who mooted this policy in the first place had done their homework properly, they would have seen how geologically unsound land it is for housing development (clay on chalk on sand on a thirty degree gradient with deep running water courses) which is all too close to the Guildford Reservoir to permit the deep piling needed to prevent subsidence and land-slip. With any possible Reservoir avoidance works plus deep piling plus the installation of piped services, roadways etc etc - there would be very little profit margin (if any) for affordable or even social housing developers. Added to which are the local residents of Westborough and Worplesdon who are hostile to any development on this site
We ask then in the interest of democracy and the public purse that GBC drops Policy H3 from the 2013 LDS forthwith and allows Guildford Allotment Society to take on the lease for the uncultivated part of the Aldershot Road Allotment Site.
Thank you for your time and attention

Nice, I did wonder if a diffuser might be an idea. Oh, and II recognise those speakers - got a set myself!
I use those Neodymium magnets from old hard drives to hold thicker things on my fridge - they're also useful for holding decorations to the steel edging under the surface of the corners of plasterboard wallsTip - if you're putting your shopping list on your fridge (I like your idea BTW, I write mine on a whiteboard on my fridge) then when its ready just photograph it and take your phone to the supermarket?
Awesome, really very lovely indeed. I've heard of Chesapeake Bay but no idea (other than it's over N America somewhere) but I love maps etc. Marvellous.
Great, no nonsense, and scientifically sound article. Avery good friend of mine is a world title holding body-builder and I've picked up a few tips from him. A couple of my personal hints though:Don't put it off and say 'I'll start on Monday' - when you feel the urge, start - when Monday comes you might just have lost your momentum.Qualty over quantity - (though some might say this tip might be better left until after you've lost the weight ;-)) go for something with the same cals, but twice the taste even if it costs twice the price. Treat yourself to that expensive wine, or gourmet dark chocolate (or whatever your passion is) and savour it at half the rate (a bar of good dark chocolate lasts 10-12 times as long as a cheap bar in my house). I found that increased flavour was a great way of slowing down my eating and making me appreciate just how much I was taking on and helps me maintain my weight. The cost factor also helps prevent guzzling that wine!Afraid your food might go off if you don't eat it? freeze it as it is, turn it into soups and freeze it (and soups apparantly fill you up more, or so a recent BBC programme reckoned).And I totally agree about the Netflix queue idea - I keep a boxset on the go that I watch soley when I'm on my bike (with 'turbo-trainer') and it helps to drive me back onto the bike simply to watch the next episode (and it wastes less of that precious time we seem to have less of).

Official: East Hampton probe was flawed (documents)
By Jeff Mill
Published 12:00 am EDT, Monday, August 20, 2012
EAST HAMPTON -- An investigation into a complaint by former Town Council Chairwoman Melissa H. Engel found flaws in an investigation of Engel by a senior police sergeant and concluded Police Chief Matthew A. Reimondo had failed to adequately supervise the investigation.
However, the investigation by attorney Michael C. Harrington concluded Engel's rights were not violated.
Harrington, a lawyer with the firm of Murtha Culina, also said he did not believe the flaws in Sgt. Garrit A. Kelly's investigation rose to the level of conduct unbecoming a police officer.
Despite that, Engel has now signalled her intent to sue the town and the two officers.
(Engel has previously declined a request from The Press for a comment on the report, citing advice from her "legal team.")
Harrington did submit a list of five recommendations to Town Manager Michael Maniscalco on how to improve the conduct of and oversight of future investigations.
Last week, Maniscalco sent a letter to the Town Council outlining his response and recommending actions to improve oversight within the department.
Specifically, Maniscalco said Reimondo "will be attending training leadership, management and supervision so he can continue to enhance his abilities in serving the residents of East Hampton."
East Hampt Docs
Kelly will undergo training in "advanced investigative techniques," Maniscalco said.
For their part, both Kelly, directly, and Reimondo, through his attorney, criticized Harrington's report.
Kelly said the report "contains many errors of fact and context. (It) also reflects excessive editorialization, rhetoric and false conclusions."
In a statement, Reimondo's attorney, Leon M. Rosenblatt, said, "I see this as just another failed attempt by Chief Reimondo's discredited detractors to tarnish his reputation and character."
Rosenblatt said the report "exonerated" both Kelly and Reimondo.
It is just the latest round in the long-running public feud between Engel and Reimondo, a feud which only deepened after Reimondo was removed as chief and his position abolished in June 2010.
Engel was then serving as Town Council chairwoman and has acknowledged that she was participant in the discussions leading up to the chief's removal and abolition of his position.
After months of sometimes dramatic discussion and debate - and no little acrimony, Reimondo was restored to his position via a citizens's petition drive which led to a vote on the chief's return.
It was against that background that a resident, Angie Sarahina, called the chief in April 2011. Sarahina had been vocal in criticizing Engel and supporting Reimondo's return,
Sarahina expressed concerns Engel may have improperly handled applications for absentee ballots. The ballots were used by several individuals to vote in the November, 2010 referendum which restored the position of chief and returned Reimondo to work.
In the wake of her call, Reimondo tasked Kelly to investigate the complaint.
Specifically at issue was whether the ballot applications were solicited or not, and whether Engel and another individual family members of four of the ballot recipients.
Harrington's report concluded Kelly conducted what might be described as a relaxed investigation.
For instance, while he spoke to Town Clerk Sandra Wieleba about the matter, Harrington said Kelly "never formally interviewed Ms. Wieleba and never took a statement from her."
What's more, Harrington said, Kelly never asked Wieleba if she had any concerns about Engel's handling of absentee ballots and what state agency enforces state election laws.
In an interview with Harrington, Kelly said his only focus was whether or not the signatures on the ballot applications had bene forged. Quite quickly - within perhaps less than a month - Kelly concluded they had not been forged.
He then set about finding which agency was responsible for administering state election laws, Harrington said, a process the attorney said took four months.
In his statement, however, Rosenblatt said, the agency, the State Election Enforcement Commission, "solicited the complaint."
On Sept. 22, 2011, Kelly filed a complaint with the SEEC, alleging that election laws had been violated.
The SEEC eventually determined no laws had been broken.
In April, 2012, Engel filed a complaint against Reimondo and Kelly. Harrington was then retained to investigate the matter and report back to Maniscalco.
He submitted his report in July.
Harrington concluded the investigation was flawed. And while he found fault with various aspects of the investigation, Harrington acknowledged he could fine no evidence Kelly's actions violated either the department's code of ethics or constitute conduct unbecoming.
He did, however, fault Reimondo for what Harrington said was inadequate supervision of Kelly's investigation.
In a July 27 email, Kelly criticized the report (as noted above) and said he found Harrington's selection as investigator "very concerning."
"(Harrington) has no expertise in police investigation, police management, police organization or police administration," Kelly said.
In addition to his criticism of the entire episode, Rosenblatt said Reimondo "was constrained by the settlement of his prior lawsuit (against Engel and other councilors over his removal) from being actively involved in the [Engel] investigation. (Reimondo) did nothing deserving of criticism."
In his Aug. 13 letter to the council, Maniscalco reviewed Harrington's conclusions, which he said "clarify that both Chief Reimondo and Sgt. Kelly have done nothing but acted according to the protocol provided."
However, Maniscalco said, "(I)t is equally important to maintain professional development and standard operating procedures."
And so he said, he will send both the senior police officers to training.
But, Maniscalco added, that decision "should not be construed as a lack of skills but an opportunity for East Hampton to have even better officers on the force."
Maniscalco said he will also insist that "our entire police force attend training on conflict of interest and how best to manage and mitigate those conflicts during an investigation."
He described the investigation into Engel's complaint as "difficult for our community."

World League Soccer is an exceptionally ugly game. That's a necessary trade-off when a game is as fast as this one.
Really, really fast. Everything moves two or three times faster than you'd expect. This works because World League Soccer isn't trying to be a super serious soccer game. I had enough fun just running up and down the field, slide-tackling opponents and making shots on the goal with goofy music playing. The outrageous speed of the gameplay makes this game shine because it adds so much energy to an otherwise very basic game. And when I say basic, I mean basic. The game is too frantic to do any planning or teamwork. Or passing.
That appeals to me, as someone who doesn't really care about soccer. People wanting something resembling real soccer should look elsewhere. Even if there is depth here I'm unable to see, I don't know if the game's presentation would hold up. The map on the left side of the screen is criminally useless and makes it almost impossible to figure out where on the screen the player you're controlling is.
Of all the soccer video games I've ever played – just one – World League Soccer is my favorite. It's simple and silly, but in the best way.

It's a testament of that era of video gaming I guess. I wouldn't get a game with such a cover, though I did buy PGA European tour for the gameboy. Black and white, boring cover art… All of it because my teacher liked golf and I was a teachers pet. She couldn't care less.

Somali villagers say US drone strike kills civilians gathering frankincense
Published by Brett Wilkins on October 31, 2019 October 31, 2019
By Brett Wilkins
A recent US drone strike targeting Islamic State (IS) militants in northeastern Somalia accidentally killed two civilians gathering frankincense, according to village elders and a survivor interviewed by Voice of America.
VOA reports the attack occurred during the afternoon on October 25 near Ameyra, a remote village in the Golis Mountain region of Bari province in Puntland. "Men sent to the location of the strike brought back the dead bodies of two locally known villagers who went there to collect frankincense," local elder Sa'id Abshir Mohamud told VOA. "One of the bodies was mutilated." Mohamud identified the victims as Salad Mohamud Barre and Ayanle Ibrahim Mohamud.
Mohamed Mohamud Barre, who said he was out gathering frankincense with the victims when the strike occurred, told VOA that he "ran through dark smoke and debris and crawled under a nearby mountain cave" to survive. "Then another missile was targeted at my location but the cave and Allah saved me," he added. "In the cave, I found out that I had sustained shrapnel injuries and remained there until midnight… I am bleeding and I feel kidney pain."
One prominent elder, Jama Mohamed, told VOA he could confirm Barre's claim. "One of the dead men left eight orphans and the other, five," Mohamed said. He added that one of the victims "took his pregnant wife… for medical care but could not afford to pay the bills [so] he decided to go to the mountains and collect frankincense to sell and then pay the surgery bills for his wife, who is carrying twin babies, one of them dead." Mohamed called upon the Somali government to investigate the deaths for the sake of the victims' families "I think they were mistakenly targeted," he said. "I call for the federal government and the government of Puntland Regional State to look into the incident."
Harvesting frankincense — an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes and famously gifted to baby Jesus by the Three Wise Men of the Christian Bible — is a major source of income in northern Somalia, one of the world's most impoverished regions. However, resource depletion has made gathering frankincense an increasingly dangerous endeavor, with men and boys often suffering serious injuries or even dying while climbing cliffs and mountains in search of untapped trees. Armed conflict — Somalia has been continuously at war since the early 1990s — has made made the perilous undertaking even more dangerous.
During the Trump administration, civilian casualties have soared in several countries under attack by the United States in its open-ended anti-terrorism campaign, now in its 19th year. While campaigning for president in 2015, Donald Trump said he would "bomb the shit out of" Islamist militants and kill their families. His administration has fulfilled that promise, loosening rules of engagement meant to protect civilians and resulting in the deaths of thousands of Iraqi, Syrian, Afghan and Somali civilians from US-led bombing, artillery strikes and other military action. Earlier this year, President Trump also signed an executive order revoking an Obama-era requirement that the director of national intelligence publish an annual report on civilian deaths caused by drone strikes in areas "outside of war zones" that are nevertheless under US attack, including Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and Libya.
Trump's escalation has taken a deadly toll on Somali civilians. Drone strikes and other aerial bombardment are only part of the problem, as US Special Forces troops have also killed men, women and children while conducting anti-terrorism raids that have themselves been condemned as a form of terrorism. The US has been reluctant to acknowledge when its forces kill civilians, even when it has credible evidence of such deaths. It wasn't until April 2019 that US Africa Command (AFRICOM) admitted that Somali civilians had been killed by a drone strike it previously said had killed five Al-Shabaab militants and no civilians.
Once again, AFRICOM has denied killing any civilians. Instead of frankincense collectors, it claimed "the airstrike killed three terrorists" and that "no civilians were injured or killed." AFRICOM public affairs director Col. Chris Karns added that US strikes "are important because they help disrupt Al-Shabaab" and "set the conditions for development, they set the conditions for governance and they're foundational to the progress that's being made."

Pakistani Husband smuggled worth £500,000 of heroin into the UK by sewing the drugs into his wife's dresses
Waseem Anwar Choudry, from Slough, hid class A drugs in his wife's bag
The unsuspecting drug mule flew from Islamabad, Pakistan, to Heathrow
After his wife's arrest, Choudry tried to sneak back into the UK from Paris
He admitted the drug-smuggling scheme after being arrested at St. Pancras
Set up: Taxi driver Waseem Anwar Choudry hid £500,000 worth of heroin in his wife's dresses as she flew back to London from Pakistan
A British taxi driver has been jailed for eight years after using his wife as an unwitting drug mule to smuggle £500,000 of heroin into the UK.
Waseem Anwar Choudry, from Slough, sewed 7.7lb of the class A drug into eight of his wife Nazreen's dresses, hoping to conceal it in her luggage.
But border security staff arrested the unsuspecting 28-year-old woman as she stepped off the plane at Heathrow Airport, in London, on June 28.
She claimed during questioning that she had been to Islamabad, in Pakistan, for a two-week holiday and that she had no idea she was carrying vast quantities of heroin.
She told officers that her husband had given her the dresses and had packed her luggage, according to a statement released by the National Crime Agency.
Choudry, who had been due to fly back to the UK several days after his wife, never arrived.
Instead he tried to enter the country without drawing attention to himself, by taking a train from Paris.
He was arrested at St. Pancras station in London six weeks after his wife's arrest, and admitted to packing her luggage and being involved in plotting to smuggle the drugs into the UK.
Secret drugs: Choudry, from Slough, hoped that by hiding the packages of class A drugs in his wife's dresses she would be able to smuggle them into the country for him
Smuggling operation: Choudry was jailed for eight years at Isleworth Crown Court for his part in the drug plot, while his wife Nazreen was found not guilty
He was sentenced to eight years in jail at Isleworth Crown Court on Saturday.
His wife Nazreen was found not guilty of involvement in the smuggling operation at the same court.
The National Crime Agency's Siobhan Micklethwaite called the incident 'a cynical attempt to import a large amount of class A drugs by a man who seemed quite happy for his wife to take all the risks on his behalf'.

Hi, I'm a developer that loves clean & elegant code.

A little bit about me.

I've made my home base in the providence of Dallas. My journey into tech started with a degree in political science and a minor in management earned through the University of North Texas at Denton. With the advanced critical thinking and problem solving abilities and skill I developed at UNT I started learning to code while sharing my writing online. I was fascinated with how easily I could get my work out there. Additionally, wanting to learn how to build my own site to fit my own specific needs became the next step.

That curiosity then opened a door that could never be shut. When I learned how to build my first website, I realized I found something that gave me the freedom & versatility I was looking for in my work. I use a holistic approach and then zero in analytically when working on projects, solving problems, and innovations. Now I've made a full switch to programming and development, where I can use my organizational skills and eye for detail to write clean, elegant code.

Vintage Perfume 1950s Flambeau by Faberge 2 oz Cologne Splash.
The bottle is about 70% full. The perfume is old and not as fresh as it once was, but I just tested it and the perfume still smells wearable (sweet, spicy, powdery).
The bottle is topped by a translucent red Bakelite/Catalin (reminds me of root beer or tortoiseshell prystal but more red)screw cap with black marbling inside that looks like wisps of smoke to me. I held the cap under hot water and can smell the distinctive Bakelite formaldehyde scent.
Flambeau was launched in 1955. It is classified as a floral chypre with oriental notes.
Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1977.

Q: Are compact complete geodesics closed? Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold.
Is there an example of a geodesic $c:\mathbb{R}\to M$ s.t. $c(\mathbb{R})$ is compact, $c$ is NOT periodic (i.e. be NOT a closed geodesic) ?

A: (I'm assuming you mean a smooth Riemannian manifold.)  I really struggled with this problem.  Here is my outline of an attempt.
First consider this as a special case of the following:
Theorem. If $X$ is a smooth vector field on a manifold $N$, and $f:\mathbb R \to N$ is a solution to the differential equation $\dot f(t) = Xf(t)$, then either $f(t_1) = f(t_2)$ for some $t_1 \ne t_2$ (and hence $f$ is periodic or constant), or the image $f(\mathbb R)$ is not compact.
How to prove the theorem?  $X$ defines a group action $T$ by $\mathbb R$ onto $N$ where $T(t)(p) = f(t)$, with $f$ solving the ODE $\dot f(t) = Xf(t)$, $f(0) = p$.  Now if $f(\mathbb R)$ is compact but not periodic or constant, then there must be one point on $f(\mathbb R)$ that is a limit point.  But since the action $T$ is continuous, and transitive on $f(\mathbb R)$, it follows that $f(\mathbb R)$ is a perfect subset of $N$.
Find a codimension $1$ submanifold $B$ (not compact, eg like a small open subset of a plane in $\mathbb R^3$) in a neighborhood of $f(0)$ that is transversal to the flow $X$, that is, $X$ is never parallel to $TB$.  Persuade yourself that the closure of $B$ intersect $f(\mathbb R)$ must be a perfect set.  But $f(\mathbb R)$ can only hit $B$ countably many times.  And a perfect set must be uncountable.
Now to answer your question: apply the above to the vector field $X$ on $N = TM$ that on any chart takes $(p,v)$ to $(v,\phi(p,v))$, where $\ddot p = \phi(p,\dot p)$ is the usual Euler-Lagrange equation that defines a geodesic.  So the image $f(\mathbb R) \subset TM$ is not compact.  Suppose for a contradiction that $\pi(f(\mathbb R))$ is compact where $\pi:TM \to M$ is the canonical projection.
Here I am stuck!

A: The answer is, as expected no. What follows is more of a proof sketch than a complete proof. Contradiction is attained in the same fashion as in Stephen M.S.'s answer. We make the obvious assumption $\dim M\geq 2$.
Consider some sequence of real numbers $r_n$ that tends to infinity. By compactness of $c(\Bbb R)$, there is some subsequence, say $s_n$, and some real number $t_0$, such that $c(s_n)\to c(t_0)$. Actually, by compactness of the unit sphere, we may arrange $\dot c(s_n)\to\dot c(t_0)$.
We need to weed out a little annoyance: the point $c(t_0)$ may be reached infinitely often. We can safely assume this is not the case. To convince ourselves, let us consider the map
$$c\times c:\Bbb R\times\Bbb R\setminus\Delta\to M\times M,\quad(s,t)\mapsto(c(s),c(t))$$
it has constant rank ($2$, since $\dim M\geq 2$), and is easily seen to be transveral to the diagonal $\Delta_M\subset M\times M$ (otherwise the geodesic would be periodic). Hence the times $t\neq t'$ such that $c(t)=c(t')$ are isolated in $\Bbb R^2$, in the sense that $(c\times c)^{-1}(\Delta_M)$ is a discrete, hence countable, subset of $\Bbb R\times\Bbb R\setminus\Delta$
.
Thus, for some small $\epsilon>0$, the point $c(t_0+\epsilon)$ is only ever attained once by the curve $c$. Also, the fact that the derivatives $\dot c(s_n)$ converge to $\dot c(t_0)$ readily imply that the derivatives $\dot c(s_n+\epsilon)$ converge to $\dot c(t_0+\epsilon)$. Finally, modulo an affine change of parameter $t\mapsto t+a$ we may assume

For all $t\neq 0$, $c(t)\neq c(0)$, and there is a seqence $t_n\to+\infty$ such that $\dot c(t_n)\to\dot c(0)$.

In any case, if you take a little (compact) piece of hypersurface $H$ that contains $c(0)$ and is (say) orthogonal to $\dot c(0)$, we see that (by construction of the sequence $t_n$) the curve $c(t)$ will traverse $H$ infinitely often.
Hence, the set $S\subset\Bbb R$ of $t$ such that for some compact hypersurface patch $H$ containing $c(t)$ and transversal to $\dot c(t)$, $c(t)$ is non-isolated in $H\cap c(\Bbb R)$ is non-empty, since it contains $0$.
$S$ is easily seen to be open in $\Bbb R$. This necessitates the hypothesis that $\dot c(t_n)\to\dot c(0)$. But more is true: compactness of $M$ implies that there is a uniform $r>0$ such that

*

*$\forall p\in M,\exp_p:B(0,r)\subset T_pM\to M$ is a diffeomorphism,

*$\forall p\in M$, the pullback metric $\exp_p^*g$ on the $r$-ball centered at $0$ of $T_pM$ deviates less than some small uniform $\delta>0$ from $g_p$.

This will imply that there exists some positive $\epsilon>0$ such that for all $t\in S$, $(t-\epsilon,t+\epsilon)\subset S$. Since $S$ is non-empty, this implies $S=\Bbb R$
(EDIT. This last point is not true as stands: There are problems with points that are visited infinitely many times. This invalidates the proof.)
As a consequence, the intersection we were considering earlier
$$H\cap c(R)$$
is closed and without isolated points (up until now, we only knew $c(0)$ was not isolated, but $S=\Bbb R$ implies that no point in this intersection is isolated). But it is also countable by some transversality argument (which may require one to slightly perturb the piece of hypersurface $H$). Hence it is a countable perfect set, of which there can be none in a manifold.

A: Yes, this is true and not even hard to prove, but you need a trick. Let $c: {\mathbb R}\to M$ be a complete geodesic with compact image (you do not even need $M$ to be closed). Let $\pi: UM\to M$ denote the unit tangent bundle. The geodesic $c$, of course, has a canonical lift to a map $\tilde{c}: {\mathbb R}\to UM$. The image of  $\tilde{c}$ is still compact; it is a trajectory of the geodesic flow on $UM$, which is a smooth action of the group $G={\mathbb R}$ on $UM$. Now, it is a general fact of topological dynamics, see here, here, here, here:
Theorem. Let $G$ be a Lie group and $G\times X\to X$ is a  continuous action of $G$ on a manifold (one needs much less). Suppose that $x\in X$ is a point such that the orbit $Gx$ is closed in $X$. Then the orbit map $G\to Gx\subset X, g\mapsto gx$ defines a homeomorphism $G/G_x\to Gx$, where $G_x$ is the stabilizer of $x$ in $G$.
The proof that I gave in the answer to the 1st linked question uses Baire category theorem and nothing else.
In your case: Unless $c$ (equivalently, $\tilde{c}$) is a periodic geodesic, its stabilizer in $G$ is trivial and, hence, we obtain a homeomorpism ${\mathbb R}\to \tilde{c}({\mathbb R})$, which is absurd since $\tilde{c}({\mathbb R})$ is compact.

I have read the documentation (https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/ScalaRequestBinders) but I can't understand how to implement this part.
Could someone clarify it to me?

Home News The Division 2 Announced – Tom Clancy's Division gets a separate sequel
The Division 2 Announced – Tom Clancy's Division gets a separate sequel
Johannes Amstrup Andersen
Great news for anyone who spends hours and hours playing Ubisoft's big title The Division. In a live stream, it was revealed that a sequel is on its way to the Division. Of course, we will learn more details, such as the release date and features of the game at this year's E3 convention which is opening 12th of June this year. What is known is that the same teams that worked on the previous one will go at it again. Massive Entertainment, Red Storm, and of course Ubisoft Reflection.
The news about The Division 2 was first leaked at the 4-Traders website, where creative director Julian Gerighty published a blog post. It was an image that undoubtedly shows the logo The Division 2, which can be found on the Ubisoft website. It's been almost two years since Massive Entertainment decided to release the Division, so fans should be eager to sink their teeth into something new.
The Division has suffered a lot of complaints over the past two years but managed to remain decently popular for a game of its genre. So making a sequel to address all the issues of the original seems like a smart move by the developers.
The latest update for The Division, patch 1.8, came out in December last year. This update was intended to correct most of the problems the communit y felt it suffered from but didn't quite succeed.
We have seen 2 DLC's and quite a few patches since the release of the Divison, but this is an entirely new game and will be separated from the first one.
However, you don't have to worry about the original Division as we learned from Ubisoft that the release of Division 2 would not endanger support for the first part. So a big patch is scheduled to arrive in April. This patch will cover users of the Xbox One X console that will get support for 4k gaming. June is scheduled for another patch that will bring things called Crests(loot boxes). Crests will be achievements that will be used to unlock specific rewards in Division 2.
We have almost no info to go on right now and can't wait for E3 to shed some light on this new release. It is not yet known what devices Division 2 will be available on, but we assume it will be playable on all the major platforms. PlayStation 4, Xbox One and of course PC.

« Job Boards vs. 'People Searching' | Main | Why Grantmaking on Media Policy Still Matters »
Documentary Film and New Media
(Kathryn Pyle is producing a documentary film about the post-conflict period in El Salvador. In her last post, she wrote about the "green trees" movement in Washington, D.C. )
New media wasn't the only topic on the agenda at the "Fundraising and Financing for Documentaries" event this weekend at Hunter College in New York City. But it was certainly the elephant in the room -- in this case, an auditorium filled to overflowing with aspiring documentary filmmakers seeking advice and an opportunity to pitch their projects to a star roster of funders and broadcasters.
Presented by Women Make Movies and New York Women in Film & Television, the program featured representatives from HBO, the Sundance Channel, A&E, the public TV series POV and Independent Lens, as well as funders such as Cinereach, Chicken & Egg, the National Black Programming Consortium, and Independent Television Service (ITVS). Those in attendance were rewarded with lots of advice on presenting proposals to funders (summary: "read the guidelines") and making award-winning films. Character development, artful storytelling, stunning visuals, and compelling social issues are still what broadcasters and audiences want, and filmmakers were encouraged to share their passion when approaching distributors; passion can tilt the balance and convince a distributor to pick up a film, especially if it happens to be a film by a first-time director -- the astonishing Trouble the Waters being an example.
Later in the day, a panel of independent doc-makers described their use of Twitter, MySpace, and other social networks for fundraising. The examples ranged from simple, self-managed email solicitations sent to friends and acquaintances to the use of commercial online fundraising sites that post worthwhile projects and a time-limited fundraising goal for each project -- sort of a cross between a Jerry Lewis telethon and eBay. The panelists also focused on the ways they use their own Web sites, blogs, and Facebook pages to build an audience and create "buzz" for their films through the posting of actual clips, regular updates on the film's progress, and links to partner organizations.
Of course, new media figured in every discussion. Without abandoning standards, the funders and broadcasters urged members of the audience to experiment with all types of new media and technology -- for making, marketing, and getting their films distributed. Many also mentioned ongoing efforts within their own organizations to adapt, adopt, and sift through the new media noise to identify what might be useful over the long term. PBS's MediaShift, for example, offers thoughtful news and analysis of "the digital media revolution," and PBS staff at the event reported on new initiatives in the pipeline designed to build the capacity of PBS partners and better align the broadcaster's internal policies with the new media options available for film distribution.
The event's organizers also highlighted Grantmakers in Film + Electronic Media's new Media Database, which aims to marry the interests of philanthropists and electronic media projects in need of support. I'll be attending a roll-out of the database at the SILVERDOCS conference next week in Silver Spring, Maryland. Look for a followup post from there.
